Six Changes for France

France coach, Guy Noves, has named his team to take on Ireland in the Six Nations in Paris on Saturday.

He's made six changes from the side that narrowly squeezed past Italy last day out. Two of the changes are enforced with Louis Picamoles out injured and Gael Fickou missing out for personal reasons.

They are replaced by Yacouba Camara, with Damien Chouly shifting to number eight, while Maxime Mermoz replaces Fickou in the centre.

There is one other change to the backline, as Teddy Thomas comes in on the wing for Hugo Bonneval, who drops down to the bench.

Most of the changes come in the backs where Noves has opted to replace both props, Eddy Ben Arous and Raban Slimani, with Jefferson Poirot and Uini Atonio starting in their place. The final change sees Alexandre Flanquart start ahead of Paul Jedrasiak in the second row.

France are aiming for a first win over Ireland since 2011 as they look to make it two wins from two in this year's championship.
